Psychologists, Professional Counselors, Psychiatrists,

Christian counseling is unique in that it provides psychological principles and modalities within the context of a Biblical foundation. Psychotherapy treatment is implemented in alignment with scriptural truth. Believing that all truth is designed and created by God, the understanding of the human mind and how it functions is based on truth. In working with individuals and families, a sound understanding of the Word of God is pertinent to identifying the problematic issues and providing the help that will equip them toward a journey of wholeness.

Lisa O'Bryan, M.S. Ed.

Resident in Counseling

I am a Christian. And I do counseling. That does not mean that I will use my religion to judge the thoughts or actions of anyone. Now does it mean that I want to make all people have the same beliefs as I do. But everyone has some type of spirituality and motivates them...convicts their thoughts and behaviors...gives them hope for change and a positive future. I like to explore an individual's spirituality with them and help integrate that into their therapy.

Laura Dabney, MD, MD

Psychiatrist

I approach therapy in a collaborative fashion. I find most patients keep difficult emotions buried inside which impacts their daily functioning. Therefore, I use the type of therapy that best suits the problem and patient's personality, including Christian based counseling, My style is to not throw Biblical verses around but to weave them into the subject when appropriate or asked. This helps us uncover the hidden emotions and decrease common symptoms such as anxiety and depression.

Isaiah proclaimed and reminds us: "I have loved you with an everlasting love." Faith based counseling underscores the reality that fully alive people discover meaning in their lives and suggests a specific mission which is defined by one's relationship with Jesus Christ. This truth of God is based on the reality that God loves unconditionally. As we journey through life, with all its complexities, we can lose sight of God's love and gifts to us. Our Christian counselors can help you regain that vision and a healthy direction for your behaviors and lifestyle.
